- 5 years' Experience in Travel
A British-American who grew up in sunny Southern California, I was fortunate that my parents made travel a priority from an early age, ensuring I could explore different corners of the globe.
I have fond memories of wandering through the Pirates of the Caribbean set at Wallilabou Bay on Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and visiting relatives spread across continents from Australia to South America. These experiences sparked a lifelong passion for discovering new cultures, landscapes, and stories.
Now that I have moved to London, I am excited to share my love for the diverse regions of both the USA and Canada.
